    Mozzarella Sticks & 12 pieces of wings
    CarmoseHaitian S.

    This was my first time trying this place and my children loved what they got but when it came to my food I was highly disappointed . I didn't receive any napkins or silverware with my food. I ordered 12piece wings but they did not season the wings they literally through them in the fryer and that's it. The chicken itself was not seasoned. So no flavor whatsoever not even salt. The chicken tasted bland and old. I waited 20 minutes and spent $65 dollars so I expected everything to be fresh. I also ordered the Greek Salad but they only had Italian dressing. On the bright side my boys enjoyed their cheese pizza and their mozzarellas sticks even though it came without marina sauce. The facility was clean and nice. I enjoyed the decoration. The main disappointment was the no seasoned chicken wings and no silverware or napkins. It was an experience and blessings to their future business.

    Are you looking for the best garlic knots in Dayton? If so, this is the place. Absolutely delicious. I like to try new things so I ordered kelle paça soup, yes, I looked it up first. The waitress explained the ingredients just to be sure I wouldn't be surprised by it when I tasted it. They serve it with vinegar and olive oil, and a side of fresh bread. I really enjoyed this soup, it wasn't offal at all. Even without the added vinegar, it has a slightly sour taste, but the north is very rich and filling. My son ordered the fried tilapia. It was cooked to perfection. Tender, yet crisp, with just the right amount of seasoning. It comes with perfectly dressed lettice, onions, and sliced tomato. The fries were standard thick cut fries, as my son stated, they were consistent. The waitress was very friendly. We didn't feel rushed at all, which is soemthing I really appreciate. We got a gyro pizza to go, which was soooo good! I'm picky about pizza and this was Jersey girl approved. We'll be back for sure!

    Highly recommend! The food is fresh and out of this world delicious! The staff is so kind and eager to please, too. I recommend the chicken kebab dinner and some Turkish coffee afterward. The interior is impeccably clean and the ambiance is both inviting and warm. This is a great place for a first date, an anniversary, or just taking the family out for a nice, affordable dinner.

    Love this place! I had the Greek salad, falafel, and hummus. Everything was delicious and maybe the best falafel I've ever had.

    I am visiting from out of town and wanted to go somewhere that was not a chain. Cafe Terra was…read morerated highly so I decided to try it. The atmosphere was great, very clean and open. The service was also very good and we never had to wait long for anything. Now the food was a different story. While everything was good, the for was absolutely amazing! I had the prime rib kabob. The meat was flavored perfectly and e rice was cooked exactly right. My last had cream chicken that was also outstanding. My favorite was the red sauce dipping sauce. Just delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area

    This was a mixed experience…read more First - there felt like some confusion about where the entrance was. I know this was a challenge because another couple rolled up after us and also said "oh we are also looking for this place!" Second - service was... not great. After being seated, we waited 15 minutes before anyone even came to take our drinks order - and this was after I stared at the bar for a long time. The tables on either sides... waited a long time for checks and table did not even get cleared for a good 30 to 40 minutes after they left. We had to request extra utensils.. the table only had a set for 2, and they sat the three of us. Towards the end, we ordered our desert to go and the check just so that we would not be stuck waiting... Third? Food is indeed amazing and delish! Their hummus was yummy. I loved my turkish soda with watermelon and strawberry. The tea was good. My husband tried the turkish tea - it was good.. my kebab meal originally did not come with rice - so i ordered a side of it. Important to mention because the rice is freakin delicious a. It was sooo aromatic - like I wantwd to eat two servings of it. Get it if you love rice. Husbands steak was a little chewier than he liked, but he agreed the rice was so good. Overall the food itself meth the expectations that other reviewers put. The service has room for improvement. I would definitely like to come back and give the last star for service..

The menu SUGGESTED adding mayo but that's apparently not allowed anymore. The place was weirdly quiet, the drink station was dirty, the Greek potato's in my to go order were FREEZING. The sauce on the side was a mix of liquid and chunky and was needed because there was zero seasoning on the potato's. The wrap had no pickle but promised pickle. The lettuce in the wrap was brown in places. The chicken was good but this place has gone way down. Probably won't be back here again. Too bad!!!

    We stopped here for dinner on a long, long, long drive north to the Detroit area. I really wanted…read moreto get a small taste of local flavor instead of just eating fast food, and Olive was more or less on our way, so we hopped off the interstate to grab a bite. Now, from some of the pictures of the outside on Yelp, it looks like this is a standalone business with a private parking lot. That might have been the case at one time, but either the business moved or it has a second location that's freestanding and the pics are in the wrong spot, as that's not the case now. This Olive is very much in the downtown-ish area, carved into the ground floor of a much larger building. As such, parking may be a bit more challenging since there doesn't appear to be a private lot. That said, we had no trouble finding a spot on the street within a block or two. Parking was paid for with the Passport app, and it was reasonable. Of course, it might be harder during nicer weather -- not a lot of people out on a rainy evening! We walked in to find the restaurant fairly spacious but almost deserted -- only two other people waiting for to-go orders. Kind of odd for a Friday night, but again...weather. The decorations are kind of sparse but the place, including the bathroom, was clean. We ordered our meal at the counter and sat down to wait. Husband got a gyro and fries, and I got the Shish tawook platter, which came with grilled chicken, a salad, rice, and pita. We also got an order of the Greek potatoes to try out as an appetizer. Service was a little gruff at checkout but gave us a genuine, kind-hearted thank you as we left, so I guess they just had to warm up to us, lol. The potatoes came out first and were my favorite part of the meal! They were clearly cooked fresh. I'm honestly not sure what's Greek about them as they kinda reminded me of hash browns (the cubed, hash kind) with a little squeeze of lemon and maybe some herbs on top...but if it ain't broke, don't fix it! They were piping hot and very crispy. Husband and I enjoyed our meals, too. His gyro was very large and almost over-stuffed with gyro meat. The fries were medium-cut but tasted like McDonald's fries somehow...not complaining. My Shish tawook was very juicy and flavorful. I've had better rice and pita but these were both quite serviceable and I enjoyed a fairly healthy-feeling meal. Honestly, my true rating is maybe more in-line with a 3.5...but I don't have any super severe criticisms and we had a quite pleasant time overall, so I'll just round up to a 4. Seems like they do a lot of carryout / delivery business. I'd recommend this spot for a decently healthy, very fresh Mediterranean bite if you're in the area.

This had a tempting menu online, and was open. The outside is sketchy. The building doesn't quite look open, the access road and parking are in disrepair. But it was open, and we were hungry. Inside it is much nicer. The booths are a little threadbare, but generally the decor and tableware were pretty fancy. Service was friendly, from the owners apparently. We ordered at the counter. The menu is big, with pizza and apps and also Turkish items. Kid K got a small cheese pizza and added feta. I got a small meat lover's. Halal, so I assume the pepperoni was beef; plus gyro meat, ground beef, and more. Also a samsa, sort of like a runza. A pastry pocket filled with seasoned beef and onions. It came first and was outstanding. For $4, a good portion and an excellent flavor. The pizzas came next and one was wrong, perhaps due to communication issues at the counter. What came turned out to be their special, cheese with feta plus spinach and tomato. Kid K is not into those, and there were so many toppings she couldn't really eat around them. The server whisked it away and came back in 10 minutes or so with a fresh cheese pizza with feta sprinkled on top. K loved it. My meatza was good: slightly thick crust, loads of good cheese with a great pull, tons of meat. Too much food after the big samsa, so we'll see how it reheats later, but I enjoyed a couple of slices right then. Hot and cheesy and meaty. We also got a small piece of pistachio baklava. Barely able to eat any more, but I scarfed it down. Very, very good. Drinks are bottled. Prices are decent for the quantity and quality. I'd come back if I lived nearby. Lots of other things on the menu I want to try, mainly in the Turkish section.
